@mckinley@twtxt.net @brasshopper@twtxt.net @darch@twtxt.net Yeah, it’s an art project, was my understanding too.
@darch@twtxt.net Interesting! He certainly has some thought-provoking ideas.

I’ve subscribed to his feed. :-)
@prologic@twtxt.net :-) I really like the idea of platform realism (i.e., Big Tech is so big, we can’t see solutions that don’t involve them), as I said on my fedi account. :-) https://pleroma.nfld.uk/notice/AB8y9XsWnM4Sps0PRI
@jlj@twt.nfld.uk @prologic@twtxt.net Actually, off the back of poking around DRW’s site, I found what I think is a good example of these discussions with ‘short horizons’: https://pleroma.nfld.uk/notice/AB9CwXfXlFKvjZBpVw
@prologic@twtxt.net Agreed!
@darch@twtxt.net seems like self flagellation for liberal users of social media who won’t see the forest for the trees 😒
@jlj@twt.nfld.uk @mckinley@twtxt.net @darch@twtxt.net I guess I missed that it was an art project. In that case, 100 posts seems less crazy since said person probably doesn’t want to actually host the next Twitter.
